We all know that the more subscribers we get, the more sales we make – and to be honest, I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want to double their email list.

The thing is, most people think they have to increase their traffic to grow their list. And to increase traffic, for many, that means paying for it.

Fortunately for you though, this is far from the truth. Instead of paying for more traffic, focus your attention on maximizing conversion rates with the traffic you already have.

Let your competitors overspend and under convert.

In this episode of the Smart Time Online podcast, I’ll show you how you can double your email list with the traffic you already have.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

The one thing you should focus on right now with regards to your email list.
7 easy to implement list-building strategies (and I guarantee there’s one you can use immediately).
The one strategy that taps into the psychology of your visitors so you can easily convert them into subscribers.
The one thing most people are doing, but doing WRONG. I’ll tell you how to fix it immediately.
Email list call-to-action’s that attract subscribers.
How a little piece of Javascript code can greatly increase email list opt-in conversions, and where to install it.
How to have anything mentioned in this episode done for you so you can feel at ease and work on other things that grow your business.

ACTION STEPS:

Perform an audit of your website and write down areas for improvement as mentioned in this episode of Smart Time Online.
Install and test a lightbox on your website, and get creative. I suggest using the example I give in Strategy #2.
If you utilize any kind of squeeze page, combine this strategy with Strategy #7 immediately.
Install and test an opt-in bar on your website (see links below for both free and premium options).
Don’t neglect your list. With a decay rate of about 25%, you’ll want to do everything possible to lessen that statistic in your own business.
Use compelling copy in your call to actions. “Get free updates” is absolutely terrible to use – so if you’re using it, STOP.
